Sound Transit’s car-tabs fee might be adjusted

March 30, 2017

“State legislators are talking about changing a funding formula for Sound Transit projects that a majority of voters in Pierce County don’t want but must pay for.

Rep. Christine Kilduff, whose 28th Legislative District includes some of the Graham and Spanaway areas, began working with other legislators on a different plan after constituents received higher- than-expected fees for vehicle registrations and renewals, a staple of the projects’ current cash flow.

Kilduff and other lawmakers from Pierce, Snohomish and King counties – the three-county area where Sound Transit has taxing authority — are calling for, among other things, possible rebates for low-income constituents and relief from future fees that have been criticized as placing too high of a value on vehicles.”

Thank you! With election results now certified, I am deeply honored to have earned the continued trust of the people of the 28th Legislative District. Over the last several months, I was fortunate to reconnect with teachers, laborers, seniors, veterans, active duty service members, and families across the district and listen to how the decisions we make in Olympia are affecting you. I pledge to continue to be your voice and advocate, and recommit to reaching across the aisle to find meaningful solutions to the challenges we face.

I am also very grateful for our dedicated volunteers and supporters. Without you, our campaign would have never been able to reach as many doorsteps or neighbors. The hours you spent staking signs, knocking doors, making phone calls, and talking to your families and friends helped make this campaign a success.

As we move into the legislative session, please know that my door is always open. I look forward to hearing from you and working to improve the lives of the people of the 28th Legislative District. It is the highest honor to serve as your Representative. ... See MoreSee Less
